How to fix PS3 red blinking light?
First, turn off your PS3 and unplug it for a good 30 minutes. If it's overheating, this should help. Clean out the vents to make sure there’s no dust clogging things up.

The red blinking light is usually caused by overheating or a hardware failure. My advice: unplug it, let it cool down, and clean it.
Honestly, if none of these steps work, it might be time to call for professional repair or consider upgrading to a PS4 or PS5. It's a sign of hardware failure.
Try holding the power button for about 10 seconds until you hear two beeps. This will reset your display settings and might fix the issue.
